BOTTOM -------------->

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NEW HITACHI PROJECTION TV

ANTENNA

Unless your TV is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS - 10 -

outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for the best performance. However, if you are located

in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference, and multiple image ghosts, an

indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture

screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows free flow of air to and from the perforated

back cover of the set.

To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not

place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot. For example, in direct sunlight or

near a heating appliance, etc.

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI Projection Television is its large viewing screen. To see this

large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the best spot for viewing. The

drawings give several suggestions.

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the

screen. Picture brightness decreases as the viewer moves to the left or right of the receiver.

During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or

screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can be located in a different section of the

room.

If the TV's audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system's external speakers, the best audio

performance will be obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver

cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best stereo

separation, place the external speakers at least 4 feet from the side of the TV. Place the surround

speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and acoustical

environments will require some experimentation with speaker placement for best performance.

CAUTION: The magnetic field of external speakers may cause the TV picture to

distort if the speakers are placed too close to the television. Move the speakers away from the TV

until there is no picture distortion.

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS - 11 -

Most video/audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio

cables that have phono connectors. For best performance, video cables should use 75-Ohm

coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell audio/video products.

Below are illustrations and names of common connectors.

Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the

various components. Also make sure the cables are the correct length.

300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector

This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an antenna adaptor (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).

USING THE REMOTE TO CONTROL VCR FUNCTIONS

Operating the precoded function for your VCR

This remote is designed to operate different types of VCRs. You must first program the remote

to match the remote system in your VCR. (Refer to page 22).

1. Turn ON your VCR.

2. Aim the remote control at the front of your VCR.

3. While holding down the VCR button on the remote, enter the 2 digit preset code that matches

your VCR as shown on page 22. The remote will turn off your VCR when the correct 2 digit

preset code is entered. When this occurs, the remote control is programmed for your VCR. If

the VCR does not turn off after 5 seconds, try a different 2 digit preset code.

4. The remote will now control your VCR.
